Eli Blurton was instrumental in Stanislaus State’s weekend series victory over Vanguard, delivering two high-impact relief appearances while recording both a save and a win. Across 3.2 innings of work, Blurton did not allow a run, posting a 0.00 ERA while surrendering just two hits and striking out five batters. He held opposing hitters to a .143 batting average and consistently delivered in high-leverage moments. Blurton earned the save with a clean one-inning outing in the series opener, calmly closing out the game to secure the Warriors’ win. In the series finale, he entered the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with runners on second and third and one out, immediately shutting down the scoring threat by inducing a pop-up followed by a groundout. Blurton went on to throw 2.2 shutout innings and earned the win, stabilizing the contest and preserving the Warriors’ lead as they clinched the series.
